Computer not working
Yesterday, I downloaded the ACR mod from the archive.org site. Straight after downloading it, I put it into my mods folder like I always did. But afterwards, Sims4 didn‘t open anymore, so I deleted t...
@mrsSevilla Are you referring to the ACR mod for Sims 2? That would absolutely not work with Sims 4, obviously, although it hopefully didn't corrupt your game permanently.
Anyway, at this point, it's a good idea to try to rebuild your user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just start a new save and see how it runs.
If you see the same issues in the new save, stop here and repair the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair. Then test again, and if another new save still runs slowly (or the game doesn't load at all), please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

If the new save is fine, you can start transferring your content from the old Sims 4 folder to the new one. Test your mods first, in batches, to make sure you don't have any other problem files; if you run into the same issue as before, you'll need to split the last batch of mods you added and retest until you find the culprit. Leave your saves for last. As for the rest of the files, you probably only want to preserve the contents of the Screenshots and Tray folders, the latter of which contains your saved households and builds. In case you're curious what the other files are, here's a thorough description:
